Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Pumpkin Kart is a legitimate, operating business in Canada solving a specific problem (long-distance ethnic food delivery) with verified traction (~$1.8M GMV, ~20k customers). However, the Proof of Usefulness score is heavily penalized by the low-quality submission, which contained exaggerated claims ('everyone' as audience, 'most people have used my product') and omitted key data. While the underlying business utility is high, the project falls into the 'Minimal Traction (<50k users)' calibration bucket compared to the reference standard.
